Go back to school. Take a placement test. Choose a major. Do it for you. You can have a career. Your placement test is free at a community college. You will meet cool people and get out of the rut you are in now. Do It. DO IT!

The first step to building confidence, in my opinion, is finding out what you truly want. Over the next week, whenever you feel down, depressed, insecure, or frustrated, start making a list of all the things you want. They can be little things, like, "I want a glass of water" or big things, like "I want to ride around the entire world in a hot air baloon." Just write down everything and don't censor yourself. Then after a week, and even throughout the week, look at the list and decide which of those things you can do something about. Then start doing it! Some of the things might require little steps first, but if you really want it, then you can do it. As you start seeing that you can do things that make you happy, your confidence will grow!
This may seem kind of roundabout and like it won't immediately solve your problmes, but really it's one of the best things you can do. It's not necessarily a quick fix, but it will have lifelong results. Good luck!

Decide how you determine your self worth--don't count on others to tell you that you're worthless if you don't do this or don't do that. What do you value in other people--their friendliness, honesty, or other qualities? Figure out your good qualities and work at them. Maybe one of your good qualities is that you enjoy helping people? You could volunteer to work at a place that helps people you can relate to. Doing things that help other people remind yourself that you do have good qualities as well as develop them. Everyone has *something* good about him/herself but sometimes it can be difficult to find them if you have low self esteem. Ask a close friend what he/she likes about you, and you'll have a start.

i guess you just have to believe in yourself but not to a point where you are praising your self. if you fulfill all your basic needs, and you feel safe and loved, then you'll increase your self-esteem, thus increasing you confidence. by the way, which part of you do you wanna feel confident about? is it the way you look or the way you act and do things? in both ways, do feel good about your self and trust yourself in everything that you do. good luck.
